1982 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent - Zinc Large Date - CU-1C-1982D-01 Cud

Description

Opening the Cuds on Coins census for the 1982 Denver Mint Lincoln Memorial cent with the Zinc Large Date designation, CU-1C-1982D-01 documents the first confirmed cud variety for this historically significant date and mint combination. As the inaugural census entry, CU-1C-1982D-01 established the reference point against which all subsequent 1982-D cud discoveries would be measured. The cud itself — a raised, featureless mass where a die rim segment fractured and separated — is characteristic of terminal die failure and requires no magnification to identify. Struck on a Large Date zinc planchet at the Denver Mint, this coin represents the new composition era of the Lincoln cent. Attribution by Cuds on Coins.
